In fair Elizabethan England, there dwells Edmund Blackadder, a wit as sharp as his pointed beard, though his fortune proves ever fickle. A knave both cunning and proud, he doth seek power and favour in Queen Elizabeth’s court, yet he’s thwarted by fools, from his dimwitted servant Baldrick to his boorish friend, Lord Percy.

Wary of the Queen’s capricious wrath, he doth dance betwixt ambition and survival, crafting schemes bold yet oft undone by folly. His quest for glory doth end ever in despair, for fate conspires to render him a jest, e’er trapped in Fortune’s cruel jesting snare.

Blackadder II is presented with cabaret-style seating at round tables of 10. This production will have two 15 minute intervals. Please BYO drinks, nibbles and glasses.
